Read it before you need it! It is not that boring...

Introduction

This documentation describes how to operate and customize TMOR for your needs.
It is structured in a way that customer with a EasyPlan or NerdPlan will find their "getting started" manual as separate chapters on this page.
All other information can be found in the following main sections:

EasyPlan take off

With the EasyPlan, your TMOR system is already configured in the way, that

The 1-wire sensor is connected to the base station

The TMOR software is preconfigured for the connected sensor

The TMOR base station has unique passwords which are provided seperately

Literally, you only need to plug it in and turn it on.

Setting up the base station

Treat the TMOR base station as a normal consumer electronic device. Make sure that the new location for your TMOR base station is dry and not too humid.
The ambient temperatures should not be below 0°C and should not exceed 70°C. The spot to measure should be within sensor cable length.

Connecting the base station

Now connect network cable and and power cable. The SD card LEDs flicker as the base station boots up.
Check your local DHCP server/internet router for the newly assigned IP address for TMOR. The base station name should be TMORxYYYYYYYY PI ADDRESS.
In case you have a Raspberry Pi Vers 3 you can enable the wifi module ####.

Proceed to the Bricks view by clicking on the left menu bar entry, or by entering the following URL: http://PI ADDRESS:8080/TMOR/Bricks. The connected 1-wire sensor should be listed as BASESTATION_XXXXXXXXXXX. Here the last reading value and timestamp is visible.

Accessing the TMOR console

There comes a time where you further want to configure and adapt TMOR to your needs. This requires access to the Raspberry pi operating system. Access the TMOR base station via a remote console program such as putty. As connection type select SSH to port 22. The IP address is the same as for accessing the TMOR user interface.

Setting up the Brick(s)

Find a location for your brick which provides it with a power supply as well as a good XBee radio connectivity.
The approximate outside distances for the Series 2 XBee radio module is up to 1 km. Indoors it depends on the building material used.
Perform a range test by using the Node Discovery function as decribed in the Test Sensor Network section.
